...small boat from Vancouver into the Queen Charlotte Straits of British Columbia in search of adventure and material. Her trip ended at the top of King-come Inlet, in a village of the Kwakiutl Indians.

Even the young are not sure they can face going "outside" to school and trying to live like white men. But they all know that the old tribal ways are dying...
...instinctive killer, fated by his genes to be cruel and aggressive? Or is he a product of his environment who, with proper conditioning, would be gentle, peaceful and loving?

But Murder Manufacturer Agatha Christie said optimistically, "I do think we will get quite a good run out of it," as she signed over all royalties to her grandson Mathew Prichard, 9. Twenty-one years later, The Mousetrap has become the longest running play ever, totting up 8,717 performances in London and earning $7.5 million. Prichard, now 30 and a gentleman farmer in Wales, declined to comment...
